Very Good overview of yes, what a corperation is. Walter Brown is almost forced to give up his stock in the Imperial Steel Corperation. His accountant insists this is the only way to go unless you want to incorporate. Walter Brown then says, incorporate? and then the accountant tells Walter what a corperation does, how it has a board of directors, can issue stocks, etc. Well, hold on, how on earth is Walter learning this now, when he has stocks to begin with? Did he not know what he was buying when he purchased the Imperial Steel stock?
Am I clever or what?

1949 Centron biz school film that covers the basics of what a corporation is. The film, opens with an explaination of the definition of a corporation; that is not just for large businesses, but is a legal definition that covers a wide range of entities. The main point is that a corporation, once formed, is legally a person.
We then cut to Mr. Brown, the co-propriater of a small clothing store talking with his lawyer concerning the sale of stock in a steel company to cover improvements in his business. Through the conversation, they cover the different types of businesses, and the advantages and disadvantages of each: sole (or single) proprietor, partnership, and incorporation.
This is one of those films on the site where the basic information is still valid and I learned much from the film. About the only difference between 1949 law and current is the addition of varations such as the LLC (Limited License Corporation) which is somewhere between a partnership and a corporation legally, and would probably be more appropiate for Mr. Brown's clothing store these days. It also helps that the dialog between Mr. Brown and his lawyer, which makes up the bulk of the film, is mostly natural while imparting information. As such, it's not particularly weird nor excellent. Just useful if you need an overview on the subject.
